SALEM - A 14-year-old girl has died from injuries she suffered in a Monday traffic accident in Salem.

Alma Garcia-Martinez of Salem was injured about 6:30 a.m. Monday when the Ford Expedition in which she was riding was involved in one of a rapid series of ice-caused accident on an overpass where Portland Road crosses over Interstate 5.

According to Lt. Dave Okada of the Salem Police Department, Garcia-Martinez was riding in the rear seat of the vehicle when it slid into oncoming traffic. She was thrown from her seat into the rear cargo area of the vehicle and sustained massive head injuries.

Okada said the accident that led to Garcia-Martinez's injuries was one of series of wrecks that took place on the overpass over a few minutes. Eventually, about 10 vehicles were involved.
